Best practices for configuring server queue settings

By correctly configuring the AR System server where BMC Helix CMDB is installed you can prevent data bottlenecks.

To set the minimum and maximum number of server threads

  1. Set the minimum number of Fast and List server threads to match the number of CPU cores on this computer.
  2. Set the maximum number of Fast server threads at three times the number of CPU cores, but do not exceed 32.

  3. Set the maximum number of List server threads at five times the number of CPU cores, but do not exceed 32.
     For example, if the AR System server computer has four CPU cores, you should make the settings shown in the following table. .
